Mezcal Gifts

BY

Michael Endelman

"After a big meal out, when my friends are ordering dark brown Scotches, I find myself craving something very clear and very strong: mezcal. I've become hooked on the Mexican spirit, specifically the new wave of imports that mix the head-clearing smoke mezcal is known for with a bit of elegance. It's not for everyone, but as a gift for friends who like their whisky to be peaty and intense, a bottle of mezcal will earn you many points."
